Quoting a text conversation. Mates brother (Blues supporter) currently in Adelaide watching game with Brother-in-law who is high up in IGA, a 2nd tier sponsor of Crows. The mates brother apparently says as boys walking off, Gibbs is quiet and doesn't looked interested. Brother in law answered, any wonder as he is coming to Adelaide, talks are on and well advanced. Says their 1st and youngsters (more than 1) is the offer.

They drafted Galluci and Poholke last year - two mids. I'd be happy with that.

Saw mentioned somewhere that ch7 was reporting that Daisy has been offered a 1 year deal and will play on and that Gibbs has sat down with the club and informed them that he won't be seeking a trade and will play out his contract.

Of these I reckon Gorringe, Sheehan, Galluci will be gone this week
Graham and Simpson will get a contract
Thomas will be offered a year
Buckley and Boekhorst will depend on trade week / salary cap
Casboult - contract on table - if he gets a better offer, bye bye
Smedts?????????

Not to blow the candles out on MS3's previous post (just providing a different view), a former GWS board member and current AFL commissioner is "rather confident" Kelly will re-sign for two years (until FA).

Carlton are in a position to front end the Lynch offer as high as $2.2 million in year 1 and 2. This they believe will be unable to be matched by Suns. Whether he actually wants to go to Blues is another story.

Blues blueprint is to have 38 out of 44 players on the list 25 years of age or younger in 2 years time.

I've had this info for a while. But apparently Sumner has an issue with getting into punch ons at bars after he's had a few. There was a club imposed sanction earlier this year. Not a sexy rumour unfortunately
